Poland Polish Racjonalizator Wojskowy badge

[rakkasan]

Hello Everyone,

I have attached a photo of the RACJONALIZATOR WOJSKOWY badge in my collection. My question isn't so much about the award itself but what it was actually awarded for. In english this is translated as a "military rationalizer". Can anyone please tell me what a military rationalizer did in the various Warsaw Pact armed forces (in this case Poland) and how one might get awarded for it?

In Poland, this badge (bronze, silver or gold) was given to military personnel and civilians who have had a major contribution to the development of military technical ideas and contribute to the modernization of military equipment and armaments as well as in very many areas of the wider national defense.
